About Randy
Randy Now's Man Cave, a record store owned by Randy Ellis and his wife Mary in Hightstown, New Jersey, buys and sells a wide variety of merchandise, including records, cassettes, and DVDs. The store also carries T-shirts, snacks, and sodas and hosts in-store concerts.
Randy Ellis has been involved in the music scene for over 40 years. He began his career as a DJ at City Gardens in Trenton, New Jersey. He eventually became the promoter for the club, booking bands such as The Ramones, The Replacements, and Green Day. After City Gardens closed, Ellis continued to book bands at various clubs in the Trenton, NJ, area. Still working a day job, Randy delivered newspapers for over 14 years (365 days a year!).
Randy was offered the opportunity to book The New Hope Winery; basically setting them up with numerous music agencies, booking theartists there, and also getting their presence onto the web in the early days and helped set up email weekly mailings. Also arranged the room's seating for optimum sight lines and comfortable seating.
Randy opened his "Man Cave" store in Bordentown, NJ, in 2013 and spent 10 years in that location. The time was approaching for expansion in 2022. Luckily, we found an ideal new space in Hightstown, NJ, going from 500 square feet to our current 1750 sq. ft. location. The new Man Cave is butted up between The Hightstown Diner (94 years strong) and The Old Hights Brewpub (3 years old).
Randy Now's Man Cave likes to be known as "Not The Biggest ... Just The Coolest !" Open at Noon Wednesday through Sunday, with closing hours changing as needed.
